Frequently Asked Questions - MMR-640 Sonel

How do I perform a low resistance measurement with the MMR-640?
Connect the test leads to the appropriate terminals (I₁, I₂, U₁, U₂). Turn on the meter, select the resistance measurement icon from the main menu. Set the measuring current (auto or manual) and trigger mode. Press START/STOP to begin. The result will be displayed. For accurate results, use bidirectional measurement to compensate contact potentials.
How can I save measurement results to the memory?
After a measurement, tap the save icon (). You can either select an existing client and measurement point or create a new client/object/point on the fly. The result is stored only at a measurement point; previous results for the same point will be overwritten.
What is the battery life and how do I charge it?
The Li-Ion battery (7.2 V 8.8 Ah) provides 700-800 measurements at 10 A. Charging takes about 3.5 hours via the AC adapter (90-265 V). The battery icon shows charging status. Do not operate the meter with an open battery compartment.
How do I update the firmware?
Download the latest firmware from www.sonel.pl onto a USB flash drive. Insert the drive into the meter’s USB slot. Go to Settings > Software update. The meter will detect the file and prompt you to update. Do not turn off the meter or remove the USB during the update.
What does the error 'Lack of continuity of current leads' mean?
This message appears when the current test leads (I₁, I₂) are not properly connected or have a break. Check the connections and ensure the leads are firmly attached to the terminals and the object under test.
Can I use the meter on live circuits?
No. The meter is designed for low-resistance measurements on de-energized systems. It has overvoltage protection up to 600 V for 10 seconds, but it must not be connected to live circuits. Always verify the circuit is dead before connecting.
How do I set up the PIN code for PC connection?
Go to Settings > Meter settings > PIN code settings. Use the + and - icons to set a 3-digit code. The default code is 123. This PIN is required when connecting the meter to a PC via USB.
What is the maximum wire resistance for 10 A measurement?
The maximum wire resistance for 10 A current is 300 mΩ. If the resistance of the test leads plus the object exceeds this, the current may be limited and accuracy affected.
How do I clean and maintain the meter?
Clean the casing with a soft, damp cloth and mild all-purpose detergent. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. The electronic system requires no maintenance. Store the meter in a dry place, remove batteries if storing long-term.
Can I export data to a PC?
Yes. Connect the meter to a PC via USB (type B) and run Sonel Reader or Sonel Reports PLUS software. The meter must be in 'Connect to PC' mode. You can also copy client data to a USB flash drive directly from the meter’s memory management.

5 Power supply

The meter is powered by an AC adapter or a battery pack. When supplied from the mains, the battery pack is charged.

5.1 Monitoring the power supply voltage

The charge level of the battery pack is indicated by the symbol in the right upper corner of the display on a current basis:

Sonel MMR-640 - Monitoring the power supply voltage - 1

the battery pack is charged

Sonel MMR-640 - Monitoring the power supply voltage - 2

the battery pack is discharged

Sonel MMR-640 - Monitoring the power supply voltage - 3

the battery pack is being charged

Sonel MMR-640 - Monitoring the power supply voltage - 4

NOTE!

Remember that measurements performed with an insufficient supply voltage feature additional errors which the user is unable to evaluate. Consequently, such measurements cannot prove that the results of resistance measurements are correct.

5.2 Replacing the battery pack

MMR-640 is equipped with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack and a charger. The battery pack is placed in the battery compartment. Battery charger is installed inside the housing of the meter and is compatible only with the manufacturer's rechargeable battery pack.

Sonel MMR-640 - Replacing the battery pack - 1

WARNING

If the power cord is left in the socket during replacement of the battery pack, there is a risk of electric shock with a dangerous voltage.

In order to replace the batter-pack it is necessary to:

  • remove all the test leads from the sockets and turn the meter off,
  • remove the lid of the battery compartment (in the upper part of the housing) by removing 2 screws,
  • remove the battery pack,
  • remove two connector pins of the battery pack,
  • connect the power plugs of the new battery pack,
  • insert the battery pack into the battery compartment,
  • place and tighten the lid of battery compartment.

Sonel MMR-640 - WARNING - 1

NOTE!

Do not operate a meter with an open or incorrectly closed battery compartment and do not power it from other sources than those specified in this manual.

5.3 General rules for using Li-Ion rechargeable batteries

  • If you do not use the device for a prolonged period of time, then it is recommended to remove the rechargeable batteries and store them separately.
  • Store the half-charged battery pack in a plastic container placed in a dry, cool and well ventilated place and protect them from direct sunlight. The battery pack may be damaged if stored when fully discharged. The ambient temperature for prolonged storage should be maintained within the range of 5°C...25°C.
  • Charge the batteries in a cool, well-ventilated place at a temperature of 10^ C ... 28^ C. Modern fast chargers detect both too low and too high temperature of rechargeable batteries and react to the situation adequately. Too low temperature should prevent starting the process of charging, which might irreparably damage rechargeable batteries. The increase in temperature of the battery pack may cause electrolyte leakage and even its ignition or explosion.
  • Do not exceed the charging current, as it may result in ignition or "swelling" of the battery pack. "Swollen" battery pack must not be used.
  • Do not charge or use the batteries in extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures reduce the lifetime of rechargeable batteries. Always observe the rated operating temperature. Do not dispose the battery pack into fire.
  • Li-Ion cells are sensitive to mechanical damage. That may cause its permanent damage of the batteries and thus - ignition or explosion. Any interference in the structure of Li-ion battery pack may cause its damage. This may result in the ignition or explosion. A short-circuit of the battery poles + and - may permanently damage the battery pack or even cause its fire or explosion.
  • Do not immerse Li-Ion battery in liquids and do not store in humid conditions.
  • If the electrolyte contained in the Lithium-Ion battery pack, contacts eyes or skin, immediately rinse the affected place with plenty of water and consult a doctor. Protect the battery against unauthorised persons and children.
  • When you notice any changes in the Lithium-Ion battery pack (e.g. changes in colour, swelling, excessive temperature), stop using it. Mechanical damaged, overcharged or excessively discharged battery pack is not suitable for use.
  • Any misuse of the battery may cause its permanent damage. This may result in the ignition. The seller and the manufacturer shall not be liable for any damages resulting from improper handling Li-lon battery pack.

6 Cleaning and maintenance

Sonel MMR-640 - Cleaning and maintenance - 1

NOTE!

Use only the maintenance methods specified by the manufacturer in this manual.

The casing of the meter may be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth using all-purpose detergents. Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents which may scratch the casing (powders, pastes, etc.). The electronic system of the meter does not require maintenance.

7 Storage

In the case of storage of the device, the following recommendations must be observed:

  • disconnect all the test leads from the meter.
    • make sure that the meter and accessories are dry,
    • during prolonged storage remove the batteries,
  • storage temperatures must be in accordance with those defined in technical specifications,
  • in order to prevent total discharge of the rechargeable batteries during prolonged storage, charge them from time to time.

8 Dismantling and disposal

Worn-out electric and electronic equipment should be gathered selectively, i.e. it must not be placed with waste of another kind.

Worn-out electronic equipment should be sent to a collection point in accordance with the law of waste electrical and electronic equipment.

Before the equipment is sent to a collection point, do not dismantle any elements.

Observe the local regulations concerning disposal of packages, worn-out batteries and accumulators.

9 Technical data

9.1 Basic data

⇒ Abbreviation "m.v." used in the specification of measurement accuracy means a standard measured value.

Uncertainty values stated in the table refer to the measurement with bidirectional current and relate to the average of two measurements according to the following formula:

$$ R = \frac {R _ {F} + R _ {R}}{2} $$

where:

R_F — resistance at the assumed "forward" current direction,

R_R — resistance at the assumed "backward" current direction.

For measuring with unidirectional current, the specified accuracy is not guaranteed.
